Tommy Armstrong Making NFL Adjustment From QB To Defense With Vikings

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (WCCO) – The Minnesota Vikings have an established rookie quarterback in camp who is not vying for the job.

That’s because they signed Nebraska’s Tommy Armstrong to play safety. He’s making the NFL adjustment.

Tommy Armsstrong is practicing and getting advice from his new head coach: Mike Zimmer.

“Just doing everyday things. Just trying to get my footwork right. I think it’s going well working with him and Terence Newman just trying to get the DB fundamentally all together,” Armstrong said.

It’s a new world. Now a safety, and that takes some adjustments and some coaching.
